IMO this is the TOS episode where the combined cast cut loose and were dependent on each others acting skills. Yep, Mirror, Mirror was an ensemble masterpiece!]]>7Where does this picture of the Phase II Enterprise study model come from?Thu, 21 Mar 2019 19:19:47 +0000https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/where-does-this-picture-of-the-phase-ii-enterprise-study-model-come-from.298877/

At that point we either cringe involuntarily, shake our head in disbelief or laugh ourselves silly.

It might be a line like, "Brain and brain! What is brain?" It might be seeing a pink tribble. It could be anything.

So share your WTF moments from TOS and/or TAS.]]>58Engine Room(s) on the TOS Enterprise (revisited)Thu, 21 Mar 2019 17:45:37 +0000https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/engine-room-s-on-the-tos-enterprise-revisited.297971/

I didn't come into the club until 1986 just prior to TVH. I didn't start watching the TV series until I saw the movies.

So I...

That is not as easy to answer as one might think, because of the possibility that people in Edith Keeler's era might not use the same calendar era as most of us on this site use. Instead of counting the years from AD 1, the calendar era of the Anno Domini date system, they might count the years from some year that is before or after AD 1.
